BRITISH BREWERIES
The London Brewery of Truman, Hanbury & Buxton
A vapour-compression refrigeration machine designed by James Harrison (a
Scotsman living in Australia) was manufactured in London by Siebe & Company
according to his Patent BP 2362: 1858 and sold to the brewery of Truman, Hanbury
& Buxton in 1857, probably the first application of refrigeration in a British
brewery. It was reported to be still at work in 1886.
